In a pivotal Week 12 matchup, the Houston Cougars (4-5) are set to face off against the Arizona Wildcats (3-6) at Arizona Stadium in Tucson on Friday, Nov. 15. Both teams have had seasons that fall short of expectations, but Houston enters this contest with a slight edge in the win column.
Season Struggles for Both Teams
Ranked 74th in the power rankings, the Cougars have faced significant challenges, particularly when playing away from home. With only one victory in four road games this season, Houston’s road woes have been a major factor in their underwhelming performance. Despite this, they still cling to a 23.2% chance of becoming bowl-eligible. If they can turn their fortunes around in the remaining games, there’s a glimmer of hope for postseason play.
On the other hand, the Arizona Wildcats sit at 77th in the rankings and have also struggled throughout the season. With a disappointing 1-3 record at home, their prospects of making a bowl game are even slimmer, with just a 3.4% chance of securing a postseason berth. Nevertheless, the Wildcats will be eager to defend their home turf and avoid a losing season, making this matchup crucial for both squads.
